  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 400 grams spaghetti or linguine
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– Zest of 2 large lemons
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Juice of 2 large lemons
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating your own Pasta Limone is easy with these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, and then drain the pasta.

2. Heat the Sauce: In a large skillet, combine butter and olive oil over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely.

3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Incorporate Lemon: Add the lemon zest to the skillet and mix well, letting the flavors infuse for another 1-2 minutes.

5. Mix in Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and juice of the lemons. Stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

6. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the sauce to taste.

7. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the creamy lemon sauce.

8. Add Parmesan: Gradually mix in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy.

9. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.

10. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve right away for the best flavor.

These simple steps will guide you in creating a delightful Pasta Limone, perfect for any occasion!
